Abstract
We inscribe with 266 nm femtosecond pulses a output coupler for a 1550 nm fiber laser directly through the coating of an SMF-28. The output coupler was inscribed with the phase-mask technique without loading. This output coupler was spliced to an active Er/Yb fiber, and a fiber laser with an output power of and a slope efficiency of was obtained. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported attempt to inscribe a fiber Bragg grating through the polymer jacket of an optical fiber with a UV femtosecond laser.
